3 pizzas from £3 to 76p
3 Corn feed chicken legs from £1.70ish to 70p
2 Lean beef mince £3 ish to 90p
2 minted lamb chop packs down to £1.50
2 Duck wrap kits £2.00 down to £1.00
then some lamb chops, ribeye stakes, fish pie, Chinese dishes for which I can't remember the prices.

Got £54 worth of meat/ready meals for £27!

Im ok hun just incredibly hectic weekend.

hubby survived and dident get ill as he ate the 1/4of pie night before and took half to work.
friday night cooked the pie with chips and he agreed tastes better cooked:).

dident get any reduced yesterday as went in asda living-no food.
nct sale manic annd 2birthday parties.
Hubby went lidls and got the lean mince £1.34 on offer he brought 6in the end max per customer.

So tonight did sw shepards pie and added 200g red lentils to bulk mince out and family dident notice.Combined with frozen veg as bit sick of flipping salad. So rather unusual tonights meal was not reduced aprt from reduce garlic bread it was mostly on offer stuff.

I did walk few miles this afternoon in cold to check out the spar.
got 2pints reduced milk 48p so not great but we will use it.

They had some sausages for 75p but dident look that nice as spar own normqally get richmond when on reduced.
They had bacon reduced for 2.79 bogoff to £1.50 only 6rashers!
asked cashier if would work reduced £1.50 boggoff making each pack 75p he said no and wouldent even try so left it but they had quite a few so bit of patiance will stalk it this week until get at price im happy with.

hubby said he would try morrisons tommorow night but unsure he be as good as me and chat to reducer or hover around until things are reduced. will also do co-op. dident have energy to go up there today.

defrosting reduced gamnmon and whole chicken for col meats for sandwiches this week.Will cook tommorow for tue/wed/thur/friday sandwiches .


hubby took reduced cooked pork pie to work today:D
more reduced rolls defrosting -my bread stockpile slowly going down as still on bread ban!

defrosting chicken fillets -to make a curry to go with reduced rice in freezer for tommorow nights food.

defrosting 2chicken kieves to go with oven chips and frozen peas for kids tommorow night.

easily got another 2weeks worth of food but next pay day is 15th feb.
so need some more yellow stickered meat to see us through.

I tried morries for a change today and got some ribs 1.19, ox hearts 50p, pigs hearts 35p, pork steaks 1.10 and had a browse for the yellow labelled discontinued bits and found rice pudding for 7p a tin. Then A's was on the way home so managed some reduced bagels and hot x buns for 20-30p.

I have never tried to sprout anything before, might look into it, hope yours goes well, just remembered I have some tofu lurking in cupboard and some sesame seeds so may try an asian thing with that soon.

Most stuff is 10/20/30p about 6 or so in my local co-op

Got 3.42 refunded today aswell as hadnt noticed one of the gu pots went through at full price instead of 20p !! glad i checked receipt when got home as wasnt paying attention at checkout as phone rang lol

Hope you make it out and get your fix of bargains tmrw
